Thanks to the spread of millet and buckwheat in the highlands, more than 25,000 Paulicians who migrated to the area between Meritene and Sebastian survived the winter of the previous year, and began to form twelve small market towns by relying on the rivers and forts along the way.

The efficiency of the holy sister is full of praise even for Gao Wen. It seems that this group of heretics is not only good at fighting, but also experts in tuntian, construction, and reclamation.

"How did you do that?" Along the way, Gao Wen and the Holy Sister rode side by side, looking at the crowded appearance, and asked curiously.

Kabeamiya was also a little proud, she raised her braids and raised her horsewhip to point to a large building in the center of the market town they entered, "The Turkic and Armenian fortresses you demolished earlier, and many of the stones of the Orthodox monastery, have all been used here. Of course, the most important thing is the various technicians and manpower that you have released. ”

The two rode to the front of the group and walked slowly towards the large building that Kabeamia had pointed to. Gawain estimated that the population of this market town should be only about a thousand, but it was very vibrant, and the center was around the large building, where many stalls and tents were erected, and men and women of all kinds of clothes gathered in various ways and walked noisily. At the same time, a group of men, with long whips, drove the flocks of white Anglas sheep towards the courtyard of the large building.

At this moment, for fear of colliding into the crowd, the Holy Sister dismounted and walked with Gawain, "Do you remember the Holy Trinity Monastery that you destroyed?" Half of the production and fields around the market town came from its corpses, and Caesar's armored cavalry commander named Sigma accepted the monastery but did not have the energy to manage it, so he simply subcontracted it to us Paulinetes for a fixed annual income. ”

"Oh, it is said that many of the monks and monks of this monastery have now gone to Fort Coleadio to join Inglalina and Chiser, and they have gathered together with other like-minded people to open a new monastery of the Great Cavern, and to meditate and write books in which there are many slanders against me and Anna. One person, for example, lamented that the days of building monasteries are gone, and that the day is coming to destroy them. ”

"Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with destroying it." "Later, Elder Lucios went to inspect the books and tables of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, which possessed one hundred and seventeen servants, most of whom were skilled in carpentry, copperwork, and other trades, and rented out five hundred houses, all of which were its tenants and tax collectors. Every year, no less than 3,000 chicks and steers are sent to the monastery alone. Now it is gone, and in its place is our Paulician synagogue. So welcome here, welcome to Kabeamia's hospitality, Gawain. With that, Cabeamia stood in front of the rumbling double door, and warmly and cheerfully invited the beloved man in front of her.

She was already much brighter than when they first met, and her soft lips were plump under her brown skin.

Gawain followed her into the great synagogue, and the first thing that came into view within the walls was two large houses standing side by side, "This is the assembly hall where the faithful meet, and there is a great storehouse of wool bales, butter, saffron, and tulips—which we buy at a fair price from the surrounding villages and pastures, and then carry them to the north and south along the Sebastian trade route, where Trabzon, Tartsus, and Iconium are the main customers." ”

Behind the two synagogues is a row of small buildings, "This is the pavilion we have erected, for caravans, pilgrims, and travelers, and the imitation of your Seleucian city." It was accompanied by a cafeteria, a laundry room, and a small hot tub. ”

"Well, bath ......" Gawain smiled maliciously and lifted his chin, I didn't expect you to be such a Paulician.

Cabeamia put her hands behind her skirt and rebuked Gawain's crooked brain, "It's a simple bathhouse, it's just to relieve fatigue, it's not like your Seleucian bath is full of all kinds of warblers." ”

The two walked side by side through the forest *** in the center of the pavilion area, and at this time, the small sunfish convoy had just arrived at the gate.

There is the workshop area, "sheds for shearing sheep and butter, blacksmiths, mills, slaughterhouses." One by one, Kabeamia pointed to Gawain, and the workshop area was even more popular, and you could see busy craftsmen and men everywhere.

"Believe it or not, many of these people were slaves of the Holy Trinity Abbey a year ago, but now they have been exempted from all contributions and death taxes, and only need to pay the appropriate rent. No one misses the old days, Gawain, you're right, it's much more enjoyable to be a happy person than to simply serve God. I feel that authority has slowly been transferred from God's hands to the house of man. Many believers say that saving up for oneself and one's family is a wonderful thing. The holy sister turned back to Gao Wen and said, stretching out her slender wrist, it was hard to imagine that she was still the original heretical golden hand archon, but in other words, the original intention of the group of people she represented was also to pursue the justice of the simple present world and the next life?

At the back of the Great Hall is a thick shade of trees, with a fish pond and a quiet path, "which leads to a small courtyard with a cellar below, a tower above it, and a library and study in the middle room." What you asked me to do, I've arranged for some elite elders to do all along. ”

When Gawain and her ascended the iron ladder to the towering tower, the autumn breeze of the plateau blew in a very cool manner, "Look, there is a pasture of cattle and sheep. There was a beech grove on the other side, which was used to raise pigs, and a river embankment was built on the side of the woods, where people could get fresh fish to pickle......" The Holy Sister gushed until she was turned around by Gawain's shoulder, and then she softened without resistance, stopped making a sound, closed her eyelashes, and kissed Gawain.

"Gawain, come and see me more in the future." Then the holy sister hugged him and sighed, "I never thought that Anna would be able to give birth like a little pig...... Are you going to have a baby soon? ”

"Anna said she wanted to have a bunch of little Ducasses. But you're also wonderful, Holy Sister Philaktos told me privately that you've grown thirty thousand new believers in the plateau, haven't you? ”

"That's right, I quickly formed twelve market towns by expanding the synagogues. Then I chose the able co-workers and elders to build new synagogues in other areas and mobilize the surrounding people to conquer the wasteland. Then in another three or five years, the hardwood forests and swamps that surround the synagogue will become fertile fields, and more and more people will come to live and work and accept our faith - Gawain, this is what you and I have in common, and that is faith, and do not forget that you are still a secret Paulician! The Holy Sister raised her face and said proudly to Gawain, and then a trace of doubt crossed her face, "Today you are going to tell me what you really think about the Paulicians and what they want to achieve. ”
